Don't Fall Victim to the One-Call-Close!

The number one mistake you can make when going solar is falling for the one-call-close. Under no circumstances should you purchase a solar electric system for your home after talking to one sales person. Going solar is fairly complex. Are you aware of the variety of incentives, rebates and financing programs? These important factors can not be assessed with accuracy in one quick meeting.

Falling for a one-call close can even effect the number of solar panels you need. A badly designed system may not even fit on your roof!

When you receive a proposal or contract to sign, make sure to look for specific types information. If this information is missing it should send up red flags!
